Lyrics
SPOKEN: YOU WON'T BELIEVE HOW MUCH I'VE CHANGED. YOU WON'T EVEN RECOGNIZE ME, OR MAYBE YOU WILL, OR MAYBE YOU WILL...
I'M NOT THE TIGER YOU JUST FEED, ANYTIME YOU FEEL THE NEED. THE BARS AROUND ME I CAN BREAK, THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH I CAN TAKE.. I'M NOT YOU'RE SEX KITTEN LOVE AFFAIR. THERE'S MORE TO ME THAN FANCY UNDERWEAR. THIS BODY'S GOT A MIND AND AN ATTITUDE, THAT YOU NEVER CARED TO SEE....
YOU LOCK ME IN A CAGE TO PLAY THE ROLE ON YOUR PRETTY STAGE. YOU TREAT ME LIKE A QUEEN. BUT IT'S SO MUCH LIKE A NIGHTMARE, SO LITTLE LIKE A DREAM.
I'M NOT YOUR CHAINS, SMILES, AND LEATHER GIRL, WHO TRANSPORTS YOU TO THE NETHERWORLD. I'M NOT JUST SATIN SHEETS AND LINGERIE, WELL, MAYBE I WAS YESTERDAY, BUT IF I'VE DRASTICALLY CHANGED ACCORDING TO YOU, MAYBE YOU'RE STARTING TO SEE...
(CHORUS)
I'M NOT THE GIRL I WAS BEFORE. I'M NOT GONNA DANCE FOR YOU NO MORE....
